Hi all, I have a RedHat 6.2 and it isn't working fine. Look at how many defunct processes are hanging around:
[root]# ps -ef|grep defunct vpopmail 2048 2047 0 Sep04 ? 00:00:00 [eliminate-dups <defunct>] vpopmail 28983 28980 0 Sep10 ? 00:00:00 [eliminate-dups <defunct>] vpopmail 1941 1940 0 Sep10 ? 00:00:00 [eliminate-dups <defunct>] root 11837 11833 0 Sep10 ? 00:00:00 [cat <defunct>] root 15870 15869 0 Sep10 ? 00:00:00 [su <defunct>] root 3996 3994 0 Sep11 ? 00:00:00 [cut <defunct>] root 2383 2382 0 Sep12 ? 00:00:00 [date <defunct>] root 19031 19030 0 Sep12 ? 00:00:00 [su <defunct>] root 6952 6950 0 Sep13 ? 00:00:00 [grep <defunct>] root 8991 8990 0 Sep16 ? 00:00:00 [grep <defunct>] root 4800 4798 0 Sep17 ? 00:00:00 [du <defunct>] root 17095 17093 0 Sep17 ? 00:00:00 [grep <defunct>] root 10382 10379 0 Sep17 ? 00:00:00 [sar <defunct>] vpopmail 31124 31123 0 Sep19 ? 00:00:00 [eliminate-dups <defunct>] root 1506 1503 0 Sep21 ? 00:00:00 [grep <defunct>] root 31448 31446 0 Sep22 ? 00:00:00 [grep <defunct>] root 27411 27409 0 Sep24 ? 00:00:00 [cat <defunct>] vpopmail 8645 8643 0 Sep24 ? 00:00:00 [eliminate-dups <defunct>] vpopmail 15938 15937 0 Sep25 ? 00:00:00 [eliminate-dups <defunct>] root 11418 11415 0 11:40 ? 00:00:00 [sar <defunct>] vpopmail 28565 28562 0 14:46 ? 00:00:00 [eliminate-dups <defunct>] root 11691 26606 0 17:09 pts/2 00:00:00 grep defunct Does somenone could explain why is it happening? And the worst is that the parent processes of all this defunct childs still remain in the system - with a T (stopped) status.
